Motor Died While Driving
Driving up a hill in my 1989 4x4 Xcab with 3.0L V6 @ approx 3k RPM. Bottom dropped out of motor and tried to die. Needed lots of gas and had no power topping the hill and ran real rough. Pulled over shut off motore and visible inspection under hood revealed nada. Tried to restart unsuccessfully. Turn over but no fire. Push start to run with lots of gas, and same no power and running rough.
To this point, new cap, rotor, coil and Fuel Filter. Spark plugs are damp with fuel and cylinders have good compression. Able to get started at one point and put a timing light on to find about 30 degrees advance as low as could idle without dying (1-1.5k RPM). Pulled timing cover and set TDC to check timing marks which were all good.
